i want to bring in addison armstrong for the reaction in the energy markets. addison, what have you seen so tonight? >> well, initially, we saw brent and wti trade up about 30, 40 cents but they have vince traded back down. you know, the news came out late in the day for it to impact the markets and certainly this is a much longer term story than one would anticipate seeing in a quick move in the markets late in the day. >> addison, really quick, if the elections are coming up, isn't that what really moves this marketplace? the olds favor that the v.p. probably takes over and no change in policy, so, pretty much looking at the standard policies that we've seen already, correct? >> i wouldn't -- i would not bet that way necessarily. you know, there was a lot of opposition that was held down by a very heavy state security apparatus the last time around. the election was closer than people would have thought. although chavez did manage to eek out a victory. and, you know, there's been a lot of good things, but a lot of bad things that have happened in venezuela o
